Re: [OS-webwork] Loop to create days

[Francisco Hernandez]

is there a reason you can just use webworks select tags?

Not using collections or arrays => more visually complex.
Does "object creation" has that large an impact on the server to warrant 
complex-looking codes ?
 
I feel that the above is visually more complex, and more difficult to 
read, even if it does not use collections or arrays. Why is there the 
contraint for "excessive object creation" on the server ? Why does it 
"seem wrong" ? There is object creation, but I don't think they are 
"excessive" as they function to help make readable code.

    I am using jsp for the view.  I would not want to use a collection
    or array for a simple "for" construct due to added complexity and
    excessive object creation.  It just seems wrong.  I need to set one
    of the values "selected"...
     
    <option value="22" selected>22</option>
     
    ...by comparing the loop variable with a property on my action.

        Greetings,
         
        Is the following acceptable ?
         
        #foreach( $day in [1..31] )
           <option value="$day">$day</option>
        #end
         
        What is your concern with using collections or arrays ?

            Hi,
             
            I would like to create a list of day options for a select
            like so:
             
            <option value="1">1</option>
            <option value="2">2</option>
            ...
            <option value="31">31</option>
             
            Can I do this without using a collection or array of numbers
            and iterating through them?
             
            Thanks,
             
            John.
